    e. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE COLLECTIONS OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART \YASHINGTON The National Gallery will open to the public on March 18, 1941. For the first time, the Mellon Collection, deeded to the Nation in 1937, and the Kress Collection, given in 1939, will be shown. Both collections are devoted exclusively to painting and sculpture. The Mellon Collection covers the principal European schools from about the year 1200 to the early XIX Century, and includes also a number of early American portraits. The Kress Collection exhibits only Italian painting and sculpture and illustrates the complete development of the Italian schools from the early XIII Century in Florence, Siena, and Rome to the last creative moment in Venice at the end of the XVIII Century. V.'hile these two great collections will occupy a large number of galleries, ample space has been left for future development. Mr. Joseph E. Videner has recently announced that the Videner Collection is destined for the National Gallery and it is expected that other gifts will soon be added to the National Collection. Even at the present time, the collections in scope and quality will make the National Gallery one of the richest treasure houses of art in the wor 1 d. The paintings and sculpture given to the Nation by Mr. Kress and Mr. Mellon have been acquired from some of -2- the most famous private collections abroad; the Dreyfus Collection in Paris, the Barberini Collection in Rome, the Benson Collection in London, the Giovanelli Collection in Venice, to mention only a few.

  • The Master of the Unruly Children and His Artistic and Creative Identities
    The Master of the Unruly Children and his Artistic and Creative Identities Hannah R. Higham A Thesis Submitted to The University of Birmingham For The Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Art History, Film and Visual Studies School of Languages, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis examines a group of terracotta sculptures attributed to an artist known as the Master of the Unruly Children. The name of this artist was coined by Wilhelm von Bode, on the occasion of his first grouping seven works featuring animated infants in Berlin and London in 1890. Due to the distinctive characteristics of his work, this personality has become a mainstay of scholarship in Renaissance sculpture which has focused on identifying the anonymous artist, despite the physical evidence which suggests the involvement of several hands. Chapter One will examine the historiography in connoisseurship from the late nineteenth century to the present and will explore the idea of the scholarly “construction” of artistic identity and issues of value and innovation that are bound up with the attribution of these works.

One of several reasons for the frequent and justifiable practice of describing our age as Alexandrian is that we have applied ourselves to the business of criticism. The com­ parison is often made in a somewhat derogatory sense, with the insinuation that critical interests imply lack of creative power and are the concern of less vigorous imaginations.

  • The Della Robbia Frames in the Marche *
    ZUZANNA SARNECKA University of Warsaw Institute of Art History ORCID: 0000-0002-7832-4350 Incorruptible Nature: The Della Robbia Frames in the Marche * Keywords: the Marche, Italian Renaissance, Sculpture, Della Robbia, Frames, Terracotta INTRODUCTION In the past the scholarly interest in the Italian Renaissance frames often focused on gilded wooden examples.1 Only more recently the analysis has expanded towards materials such as marble, cartapesta, stucco or glazed terracotta.2 In her recent and extensive monograph on Italian Renaissance frames, Alison Wright has argued that frames embellished and honoured the images they encompassed.3 Due to the markedly non-materialistic perspective, Wright has mentioned the Della Robbia work only in passim.4 Building on Wright’s theoretical framework, the present study discusses the Della Robbia frames in the Marche in terms of the artistic and cul- tural significance of tin-glazed fired clay for the practice of framing Renaissance images. In general, the renewed interest in the Della Robbia works is partially linked to the re-evaluation of terracotta as an independent sculptural medium, with import- ant contributions to the field made by Giancarlo Gentilini.5 Moreover, exhibitions such as La civiltà del cotto in Impruneta, Tuscany in 1980 or Earth and Fire. Italian Terracotta Sculpture from Donatello to Canova at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London in 2002 illustrated the significance of terracotta sculptures in the wider context of the early modern art and culture.6 Importantly for the present study, in 2014 Marchigian authorities and local historians organised an exhibition focused on the artworks of the Della Robbia family surviving in the territory.

The approximately life-size sculpture is a well-known work by one of the most influential and skilled sculptors in Quattrocento (fifteenth-century) Florence. “This is an extraordinarily fine work by one of the greatest sculptors of the early Renaissance,” said Timothy Potts, director of the Getty Museum. “In his short but spectacular career (he died at about age 34), Desiderio de Settignano became one of the most renowned The J.

Florence was the centre of the Italian Renaissance. The fruits of the city’s rebirth are still evident in its seemingly endless array of museums, churches and palazzi. With its historic centre classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Duomo, the elegant and beautiful cathedral, dominates the city and is an unmistakable reference point in your wanderings. The River Arno, which cuts through the oldest part of the city, is crowned with the Ponte Vecchio bridge lined with shops and held up by stilts. Dating back to the 14th century, it is the only bridge that survived attacks during WWII. Standing by the river at night, when the city is illuminated with a myriad twinkling lights, is unforgettable. But more remains of Florence’s incomparable heritage than stones and paint, the city’s indomitable spirit has also survived the centuries, ensuring Florentine life today its liveliness and sophistication.
